三元锂离子动力电池衰减机理

失效分析是通过剖析电池循环过程中复杂的物理和化学变化引起的失效现象,优化材料制备和电池制作工艺,提升电池性能的有效途径。 通过对3.0～4.2 V电压范围1C循环1000周镍钴锰酸锂(NCM,LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂)三元锂离子动力电池拆解分析后发现,正极容量损失约为2.73%,负极容量损失约为2.4%。 对比正负极片循环前后X射线衍射和场发射扫描电子显微镜分析发现,正极容量损失主要由正极颗粒破碎和结构转变引起的,负极衰减主要由循环过程中Li⁺持续脱嵌导致石墨层状结构损伤引起的。 正极过渡金属阳离子溶解并沉积在负极,催化电解液/电极界面副反应,导致负极过度成膜,活性锂损失,影响电极过程动力学也是电池失效的原因之一。

锂-硫电池是在现有锂离子电池基础上最可能实现储能密度大幅提升的实用二次电池体系. 然而,这一电池体系的电化学利用率与循环稳定性仍然难以满足应用要求. 造成锂-硫电池性能不稳定的原因在于硫正极和锂负极的材料结构和反应环境始终处于变化之中,如在充放电过程中,硫-碳反应界面的电化学阻塞、中间产物的溶解流失、正负极之间的穿梭效应等副反应导致正极与负极均难形成稳定的电化学反应界面。针对这些特殊问题,本文简要分析了影响能量利用率和循环稳定性的化学与电化学机制,并提出了构建稳定锂负极与高效硫正极的若干可行性技术.     

锂离子电池预锂化补锂策略研究进展

锂离子电池(LIBs)因高能量密度和长循环寿命而被广泛用于储能电子产品、电动汽车等众多领域。然而,在锂离子电池首次充放电过程中,固体电解质界面(SEI)膜的形成会造成电解液发生不可逆分解、初始活性Li⁺损失(ALL)和不可逆容量损失,会影响电池体系容量和能量密度的发挥,对于硅基负极电池体系而言尤为显著。基于这一问题,亟需开发各种补锂策略来降低活性锂损失,有效提高电池体系的首次库仑效率(ICE),从而实现更高的能量密度和循环稳定性。结合现阶段所做工作,从正负极角度出发,将预锂化补锂策略分为正极预锂化和负极预锂化,主要包括富锂正极材料、富锂预锂化试剂、惰性锂金属粉、含锂有机溶液等一系列预锂化补锂措施。通过系统的分类、比较与总结后,对预锂化以实现电池的高能量密度和长循环寿命提出建议,有助于为预锂化策略走向商业化提供启示。

以LiCoO2为阴极的全固态薄膜锂电池的研究

Amorphous and oriented polycrystalline LiCoO2 thin films, used as cathode material for an all-solid-state thin film battery, were fabricated by using RF magnetron sputtering and annealed at different temperatures. The morphology and structure of LiCoO2 thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. All-solid-state thin film batteries, comprised of LiCoO2 cathode films with different structures, lithium phosphorous oxynitride electrolyte film and metallic lithium anode film, was successfully prepared and their properties were examined by chronopotentiometry. Results showed that the structure and crystallinity of the LiCoO2 films strongly influenced the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state thin film lithium batteries. Worth nothing was the battery with an oriented polycrystalline LiCoO2 film it exhibited the best electrochemical performance, and delivered a discharge capacity of ～55.4 μAh/cm2μm. Furthermore, when subjected to over 450 charge/discharge cycles, that battery suffered no obvious fode in capacity.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of nanostructured LiCoO2 fibers as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Nanostructured LiCoO2 fibers were prepared by the sol-gel related electrospinning technique using metal acetate and citric acid as starting materials. The transformation from the xerogel fibers to the LiCoO2 fibers and the nanostructure of LiCoO2 fibers have been investigated in detail. The LiCoO2 fibers with 500 nm to 2 mum in diameter were composed of polycrystalline nanoparticles in sizes of 20-35 nm. Cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge experiments were applied to characterize the electrochemical properties of the fibers as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The cyclic voltammogram curves indicated faster diffusion and migration of Li+ cations in the nanostructured LiCoO2 fiber electrode. In the first charge-discharge process, the LiCoO2 fibers showed the initial charge and discharge capacities of 216 and 182 (mA.h)/g, respectively. After the 20th cycle, the discharge capacity decreased to 123 (mA.h)/g. The X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses indicated that the large loss of capacity of fiber electrode during the charge-discharge process might mainly result from the dissolution of cobalt and lithium cations escaping from LiCoO2 to form the crystalline Li2CO3 and CoF2 impurities.     

Oxidative-stability enhancement and charge transport mechanism in glyme-lithium salt equimolar complexes

The oxidative stability of glyme molecules is enhanced by the complex formation with alkali metal cations. Clear liquid can be obtained by simply mixing glyme (triglyme or tetraglyme) with lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (Li[TFSA]) in a molar ratio of 1:1. The equimolar complex [Li(triglyme or tetraglyme)(1)][TFSA] maintains a stable liquid state over a wide temperature range and can be regarded as a room-temperature ionic liquid consisting of a [Li(glyme)(1)](+) complex cation and a [TFSA](-) anion, exhibiting high self-dissociativity (ionicity) at room temperature. The electrochemical oxidation of [Li(glyme)(1)][TFSA] takes place at the electrode potential of ~5 V vs Li/Li(+), while the oxidation of solutions containing excess glyme molecules ([Li(glyme)(x)][TFSA], x > 1) occurs at around 4 V vs Li/Li(+). This enhancement of oxidative stability is due to the donation of lone pairs of ether oxygen atoms to the Li(+) cation, resulting in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level lowering of a glyme molecule, which is confirmed by ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The solvation state of a Li(+) cation and ion conduction mechanism in the [Li(glyme)(x)][TFSA] solutions is elucidated by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrochemical methods. The experimental results strongly suggest that Li(+) cation conduction in the equimolar complex takes place by the migration of [Li(glyme)(1)](+) cations, whereas the ligand exchange mechanism is overlapped when interfacial electrochemical reactions of [Li(glyme)(1)](+) cations occur. The ligand exchange conduction mode is typically seen in a lithium battery with a configuration of [Li anode|[Li(glyme)(1)][TFSA]|LiCoO(2) cathode] when the discharge reaction of a LiCoO(2) cathode, that is, desolvation of [Li(glyme)(1)](+) and insertion of the resultant Li(+) into the cathode, occurs at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The battery can be operated for more than 200 charge-discharge cycles in the cell voltage range of 3.0-4.2 V, regardless of the use of ether-based electrolyte, because the ligand exchange rate is much faster than the electrode reaction rate.     

非水溶剂Li-O2电池锂负极研究进展

The aprotic Li-O₂ battery has attracted considerable interest in recent years because of its high theoretical specific energy that is far greater than that achievable with state-of-the-art Li-ion technologies. To date, most Li-O₂ studies, based on a cell configuration with a Li metal anode, aprotic Li⁺ electrolyte and porous O₂ cathode, have focused on O₂ reactions at the cathode. However, these reactions might be complicated by the use of Li metal anode. This is because both the electrolyte and O₂ (from cathode) can react with the Li metal and some parasitic products could cross over to the cathode and interfere with the O₂ reactions occurring therein. In addition, the possibility of dendrite formation on the Li anode, during its multiple plating/stripping cycles, raises serious safety concerns that impede the realization of practical Li-O₂ cells. Therefore, solutions to these issues are urgently needed to achieve a reversible and safety Li anode. This review summarizes recent advances in this field and strategies for achieving high performance Li anode for use in aprotic Li-O₂ batteries. Topics include alternative counter/reference electrodes, electrolytes and additives, composite protection layers and separators, and advanced experimental techniques for studying the Li anode|electrolyte interface. Future developments in relation to Li anode for aprotic Li-O₂ batteries are also discussed.     

Unlocking Charge Transfer Limitations for Extreme Fast Charging of Li-Ion Batteries

Extreme fast charging (XFC) of high-energy Li-ion batteries is a key enabler of electrified transportation. While previous studies mainly focused on improving Li ion mass transport in electrodes and electrolytes, the limitations of charge transfer across electrode–electrolyte interfaces remain underexplored. Herein we unravel how charge transfer kinetics dictates the fast rechargeability of Li-ion cells. Li ion transfer across the cathode–electrolyte interface is found to be rate-limiting during XFC, but the charge transfer energy barrier at both the cathode and anode have to be reduced simultaneously to prevent Li plating, which is achieved through electrolyte engineering. By unlocking charge transfer limitations, 184 Wh kg⁻¹ pouch cells demonstrate stable XFC (10-min charge to 80 %) which is otherwise unachievable, and the lifetime of 245 Wh kg⁻¹ 21700 cells is quintupled during fast charging (25-min charge to 80 %).     

Investigations on some electrochemical aspects of lithium-ion ionic liquid/gel polymer battery systems

Electrochemical and interfacial characteristics of Li-ion battery system based on LiFePO₄ cathode and graphite anode with ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes have been investigated, both with and without addition of a small amount of polymer to the electrolyte. The IL electrolyte consisted of bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) as anion and 1-ethyl-3-methyleimidazolium (EMI) or N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium (Py13) as cation, and operated at ambient temperature. We reported previously that the SEI formation with IL was stabilized in the graphite anode at 80% coulombic efficiency (CE) in the first cycle, when FSI anion is used. In this work, we extend the study to the LiFePO₄ cathode material. Gel polymer with IL is one part of this study. The stepwise impedance spectroscopy was used to characterize the Li/IL-Gel polymer/LiFePO₄ at different states of charge. This technique revealed that the interface resistance was stabilized when the cathode is at 70% DoD (Depth of Discharge). The diffusion resistance is higher at the two extremes of discharge when monophase LiFePO₄ state (0%DoD and 100%DoD) obtains. When polymer is added to the IL, interface resistance is improved with 1 wt.% but results with IL alone are not improved for the case of 5 wt.% polymer added. Good cycling life stability was obtained with Li/IL-FSI/LiFePO₄ cells, with or without polymer. The first evaluation of the Li-ion cell, LiFePO₄/IL-FSI-(5 wt.%) gel polymer/graphite, has shown low first CE at 68.4% but it recovers in the third cycle, to 96.5%. Some capacity fade was noticed after 30 cycles. The rate capability of the Li-ion cell shows a stable capacity until 2 C discharge rate. Dedicated to Professor J.O’ M. Bockris, whose contributions to electrochemistry are inestimable and indelible, on his eighty-fifth birthday.

Room temperature operation of all-solid-state battery using a closo-type complex hydride solid electrolyte and a LiCoO_2 cathode by interfacial modification

We report on an all-solid-state battery that employs a closo-type complex hydride solid electrolyte and a LiCoO2 cathode.Interfacial modification between the solid electrolyte and cathode with a LiNbO_3 buffer layer enables reversible charge-discharge cycling with a cell voltage of 3.9V (vs.Li+/Li) at room temperature.Electrochemical analyses clarify that the given modification effectively suppresses side reactions at the cathode/solid electrolyte interface.The interfacial resistance is lowered by ca.10 times with a 5 nm thick LiNbO_3 buffer layer compared to that without a buffer layer,so that a discharge capacity of 109 mAh g~(-1) is achieved.These results suggest that interfacial modification can be a viable approach to the development of high-voltage all-solid-state batteries using closo-type complex hydride solid electrolytes and oxide cathodes.
